Birthdays

On this day, September 13, in 1916, writer Roald Dahl was born in Cardiff, Wales. Best known for his children’s books which were often full of dark humor and unsuspected plot twists, including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, The Fantastic Mr. Fox, The BFG, and Matilda, he also wrote poetry, screenplays, and macabre adult short stories, for which he won three Edgar Awards. In 1983 he was awarded the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement. He died in 1990, at age 74.
